i was at Leo’s house the other day with Kevin jamming it up when we found this game on Leo’s shelf.

i bet you’re going “ungame? what’s the ungame?”…either that or you’re going…”ungame!!! that’s the coolest non-competitive game in the world! woohoo!” okay, or maybe you’re not saying anything at all. anyways…yes…the ungame!

as you can all see…the ungame is non-competitive. everyone wins. you hear that??? EVERYBODY WINS. sounds like my kind of game. you draw these cards and you have to answer the questions they ask. and the cards say stuff like “talk about being homeless” and “share a fantasy that you have”

and this fantastic game is brought to you by none other than…Rhea Zakich! yes…the one and only. bored? visit her website! alright…i’m done.

i have springcamp-related stuff to say … i’ll be sharing at church on friday. too long to type out on blogger.

JKuo has informed me that “Ruffio” is in fact a character from the movie “Hook”. i’ve never seen it…but apparently the people in my gym class are big “Hook” fans. losers.

i was sitting in gym class when i overheard this conversation that was taking place behind me. italicized text = me thinking.

random Flip kid: aw man…did you hear about Ruffio?
random kid: oh yeah dude…i was so sad when he died
hmm?
random Flip kid: yeah i was really sad too…Ruffio was Filipino, man…he was my bro
okay…
random kid: yeah man…he was awesome
random Flip kid: yeah…he had the coolest armor!
uh…what?
random kid: yeah! but i didn’t like it when he used mascara
uh…alright. i’m confused
random Flip kid: yeah…the mascara was definitely not good
random kid: eh…anyways, are you taking that test today?

that has gotta be one of the weirdest conversations i’ve ever heard at school.

splitting headache last night and this morning. didn’t go to school but here i am at work. i need money. two more days til springcamp 2002…two more days and i get to take ten days off from DGS…and then two months later, NO MORE highschool! bwahahaha! anyways, i met up with tai today at Barnes & Nobles to find some books and do some homework. while i was there waiting for him, i noticed this lanky whiteboy that was decked out in ghetto-wear. “another wigger???” i asked myself, and yes…yes it was. he had everything from baggy eckoh jeans to a black doo-rag and backwards baseball cap. *groan*. i was looking for the princeton review APEcon study book when i noticed the wigger looking through the calendar section…boy did he lack dexterity…he was fumbling around and knocked over a few calendars in the process. after an extensive search, i finally found what i was looking for and as i was walking back, i noticed him again…this time shuffling through the “art theory” shelf. ugh…as if i didn’t see enough of them at school.

mmm…i accidentally brought chopsticks with me to school today. i was eating breakfast on the way to school and i forgot to put them down as i got out of the car and it was too late by the time i noticed. oops. i think stainless steel chopsticks are by far the strangest thing i’ve ever carried around in my coat pocket. at least i’ll be ready if i suddenly am in desperate need of eating utensils. ANYWAY…i think i’m close to failing statistics right now, althought i don’t know for sure. i haven’t exactly been keeping up with the work and i don’t seem to learn anything in that class so i have to read the book if i want to do the homework. and do i WANT to do the homework? not really…i’m not a very math/science oriented person. to put it plainly, i can’t stand math/science. i’m just not a mathematical/scientific thinker and my brain just doesn’t work like that. i’ll be glad when i don’t have to put up with those dumb courses anymore…just a year or two more…

i saw some interesting sights at my school and today i pulled a few strings in the DGS art dept. and got my hands on a digital camera…here’s what i found:

nice eh? the sign is supposed to say “fieldhouse” but someone cleverly disfigured the letters to make it spell “hellhouse”…i got a laugh out of it because it’s so very true. hahaha…haha….ha…ha……

“FELIX DA HOUSECAT kittenz and thee glitz” it says…quite an amusing sticker found on a fire alarm next to the “hellhouse” sign. if you can’t see it clearly, it shows a rather pudgy afro-sporting black guy pumping his fist at you. clearly an accurate representation of some people at DGS. well, that’s it for now.

well, i got a reply from IKEA today…this is what they said:

“IKEA sends sincere apologies that you find the ad disturbing. It was
never our intention to be insensitive or offend anyone with any of our
ads. We have forwarded your e-mail to the appropriate people. Thank

it doesn’t stop here people…if you happen to hear this ad or read my account of it and find it offensive, TELL THEM. here, i’ll even include a link to the feedback form. it’s about time we stood up for ourselves.

i sent IKEA an angry letter yesterday…it all started when i was driving around and listening to the radio. all of a sudden an IKEA commercial comes on and it’s obviously some whiteboy talking. he starts off by commenting about “feng shui” (where in the world did they come up with that spelling??) and how you don’t need to deal with that if you shop at IKEA. the mispronunciation of “feng shui” alone got me pretty annoyed…but it didn’t stop there. apparently if you shop at IKEA, you won’t have to mess with “chee, cha, choo, chang, etc…” boy was i pissed…i decided at that point that i’d fire off a rage-saturated letter their way. then towards the end of the commercial they said that their furniture would “balance your ying and yang…whatever that is”. why don’t you people just die?!

i find it humorous (and a bit frustrating) that whenever i take the toaster oven out, i always happen to see lots of nice cars…cars that i would rather be driving. for those of you that have never seen my van, click here. mine is the same thing except it has different wheels, windows in the back and doesn’t have “CLARK” stenciled on the side. apparently these didn’t sell well and Mitsubishi discontinued it in the states after 1990. these toasters are relatively rare (i’ve only seen three other ones besides my own) and have the unique engine-is-under-the-front-seat configuration. oi…well, today i went to NN (again) to visit and i had to take the van because both Civics were gone. these are just a few of the cars that i saw on the road: a Mercedes Benz SLK 230 Kompressor, a few Accord V6’s, Infiniti I30, a bodykitted ‘95 Accord and a pimped out Del Sol. i know this lineup won’t exactly raise too many ooh’s and ahh’s but trust me, if you’re driving a toaster…ooh ahh. the exact same thing happened to me last time i took it out too. ugh.

we walked around the fieldhouse track today in gym class and the area inside the track was where a gym class was playing volleyball and another was taking a test (it’s sectioned off). well, me and my friend Jay were walking past the test-taking class when he started shouting stuff like “copy off your neighbors…you think the teacher cares? what are you doing? taking gym seriously? what’s wrong with you? fight the system!” good thing the teacher wasn’t within earshot, but we did get several weird looks from the students. then Jay decided to confront our teacher (johnnyB…if you go to DGS, you’ll understand why confrontation is quite undesirable) about how “running around the track like rats” would help us manage stress (our class is called “stress management”). so basically he went up to johnnyB and started challenging him about the class (i continued to walk and caught up with him a lap later.) from what i understand, the teacher totally avoided the question and started saying how he “saved” Jay’s life…which makes no sense at all. the only reason why johnnyB is still here (and makes six figures) is that he won state in football this year. curses.
